Hockey is almost here! The Chicago Blackhawks are participating in the Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase again with the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues. They were supposed to host the event this season, but with the ongoing expansion of Fifth Third Arena taking place, they elected to skip this year, and the Wild stepped up to host. Next year’s showcase will likely be in the brand-new Championship Arena.
The Blackhawks have released their roster for the two games at TRIA Rink in St. Paul. A total of 23 players will head north: 13 forwards, eight defensemen, and two goaltenders.
